Use NetNewsWire and want a list of your subscriptions on your blog? Here’s how I did it:
- Export your subscriptions from NetNewsWire to a flat OPML file. This file contains links to all of your blogs in XML format, we’re going to use a XSL Transformation to turn this into an unordered list (
<ul>). - Download TestXSLT, a free XSLT Transformation tool for OS X. Open the disk image and drag the TestXSTL icon to your Applications folder. Open it, and get ready for action.
- Open
MySubscriptions.opmlfrom NetNewsWire in TextEditor, and select all of the text usingapple+a, then copy it usingapple+v. - Paste this into the XML tab of TestXSLT.
- Paste the following XSL stylesheet into the XSL tab of TestXSLT.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" standalone="no" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//outline" >
<xsl:sort select="@title" data-type="text" />
</xsl:apply-templates>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="outline">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@type='rss'">
<li><a href="{@htmlUrl}"><xsl:value-of select="@title" /></a></li>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>- Switch to the results tab and press Process. Voila! Your blogroll as an unordered list (
<ul>), ready to copy and paste into your blog templates. Hope this works for you!

Nice XSLT work, you should go work for Microsoft on their new XML office standards or something
